Hazy amber color with a one finger head with short retention.
Aroma with lots of cinnamon and apple struddel.
Flavor with notes of caramel, peppery yeast, toasted malts, wood, cinnamon and hay. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Medium body with appropriate carbonation. Alcohol of 7% is well hidden.
Ok Amber/Red Ale, a bit too focused on caramel and cinnamon. Though it went well if its apple notes, making up a struddel.

Marginal Mexican Craft beer. Kudos that they now HAVE craft beers, but this is not one of my favs. Low carb, low head, mostly clean brownish copper, no lace.
smells malty and a little skanky.
taste is average and not really note worthy, along with mouth and drinkability.

A bottle from a friend brought back as gift from Baja. Pours clear reddish amber, with a small orange-tan head that has minimal lacing. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, and some spices. Tastes is medium sweet with roasted malt, caramel, spices and grass, with a medium bitter finish.

A: excellent color, light dark reddish, little t medium carbonation but present, a big head made of little bubbles that dissipates slowly to leave behind small traces and a permanent creamy layer on top, light can pass through and you can see the amber intensity.

S: Very malty aroma, little hops can be sensed and also some sweet caramel or fruit style, it is nice indeed not to strong but well balanced.

T: The flavor is good, a little too bitter, hops are predominant instead of malt or barley sweetness is almost not present, so the smell is somehow more balanced that flavor but still good enough.

M: This one is not easy to drink, well elaborated with great looking, intense aroma and complex flavor, a little dry at the end with good lasting and bitter ending.
